The only people with 100 skill in anything but running and jumping and maybe wood cutting and pickax.. are people who wasted hours skill training or staying in the world long after the current content.. and a loss of 5% of skills when you have at least 40% more than needed is kind of meaningless in terms of being able to survive. In fact if you go from 100% to 95% and blame skill loss for death then I think you are probably playing over your head by a big margin anyway.

Yeah, I've hit 100 with Running and Bow. Since those are the two I do the most in the Plains. Then I die a few times because of overconfidence or just not paying attention to my Health or Stamina and they'll drop to the mid 70's or 80's. Jump and Sword usually are in the 40 to 50 range. Lather, rinse, repeat.

'Bout the only one I go out of my way to build up is Blocking (just for grins). I find 3 or 4 skellies and let them strike away while I relax...
